Idk if the fandom is still alive (I have hope tho) but I miss this game sm and would anyone be interested in some of my head cannons as I work on some art for Jb, Nate, and eve 😔✋🏾

Firstly Jb,

I definitely headcannon that she’s plus size. At first it was just a “oh she has more body fat than the average woman”, kinda like the Greek statues but then I started drawing and I’m like “MORE. SHE NEEDS MORE.”

She has a gap. It’s a nice little sliver of space and I think it makes her super cute.

I think after highschool, she has a tendency to incorporate more frilly things into her wardrobe. nothing crazy like Lolita, but like a little gem of lace on her tops or something soft like a bow or maybe suits? Plaids? The whole fancy-schmancy gimmicks from SSB really stuck with her.

I think after school she doesn’t exactly have a goal, she just wants financial stability. I think maybe she goes into business or real estate? Pretty generic right. That’s exactly what she’s going for. And she’s doing pretty well too.

I definitely think jb is used to having her own space. She had a single dorm in ssb, loved it. Went back home and shared a room with her sisters, hated it. Went to college and dormed with some Rocker (more on this later) and she like it for the most part (hated sharing the space but it’s fine cus her roomie was fire) then she became a resident advisor. Having her own room and paid assets was convenient and nice, but the things freaks do in college…

I think she still keeps contact with missy and Alicia, especially cus I headcannon that jb, eve, and Nate are all together and everett is close with missy, so jb and missy are close too. I like to think the three of them catch-up from time to time. A really cute date idea was presented by missy where missy and her bf, Alicia and her gf, and jb and everett (not Nate cus he’s not close with the vast majority and he’s always busy) should all go on a triple date. Ended up in a very chaotic bowling match and everett absolutely refuses to play against Alicia’s gf anymore.

I definitely think jb hangs out with her sisters a lot when she is free to make up for lost time. They’re really close, I like to think but I feel like she’s closer with the oldest. If my knowledge is right I think the youngest triplet is antisocial or shy? So, I think jb and her older sister used to go out to parties and stuff during their college days.

Now Everett

I think by the time he was out of highschool he was like “I need a new style ts gettin old💔” and he went from a Mohawk to a mullet but not a super crazy one. Nate likes to say he just let his Mohawk grow out and everett will stare at him like “😑”

Everett definitely had a growth spurt. Like a massive one it shocked everyone and he needed new clothes like that morning. Bro went from being the second shortest to one of the tallest. He stands at 6’0 now. And he still works out, but he tries to do more. He’s not super scrawny anymore either, with the muscle, he also has a bit of fat to him. He’s more full now, in the best ways.

It’s fun to think that his body has stretch marks all over it cus he grew so fast so him and Jb will get into stupid competitions over who’s looks better. In some light hearted fun, Nate might join in cus his are red due to fast muscle gain. He’ll joke around until the competition got too much😭

He likes to make jb jealous by sending her pictures of the sea/beach/cruise/wherever tf his job has him at. She’ll always wine and complain but she’s super grateful when he comes back to her with souvenirs

Speaking of jobs, I like to think that at first eve was a flight attendant for maybe a year or two and then he maybe either had a bad scare (turbulence is a bitch💔) or he just got sick of the air and the rude ass customers and wanted a change of scenery.

I like to think his relationship with his sister has gotten better to the point where they call regularly. Not as often as eve and his mother, but still often enough. And maybe all three of them go out from time to time to do something nice (they definitely use Mr. Gray’s money loll)

I don’t know why, but I feel like Everett has some experience being a makeup artist? I kind of like the idea of his sister has a nails and spa and Everett comes in sometimes to help out. He always kills the makeup. Maybe he managed his sister’s shops media? He seems like he’d be good at it.

I feel like during his highschool years, Everett had braces and he got them removed during his first year of college. He has bunny teeth and they’re very prominent when he gummy smiles. He becomes very bashful when his mother or jb points it out.

I just feel the need to share this but I feel like eve would’ve been such a great big brother💔 like he would always be on the line with his little brother tb “what you do at a school today? How’s mom? You playing sports? You want me to buy you this shirt I found it’s so cool” I feel like they’d have the best relationship and if his brother followed in his footsteps and went to ssb, Everett would give him the ins and outs but also tell Lynn to make sure his brother didn’t get into trouble.

And last but not least, Nate

I don’t know why, but I feel like when Nate is over his hyper sentimentality, he replaces his crying with loud laughter. And it’s not even a situation he finds amusing, he just hits a “HAHAHA OH MY GOd that was so amusing, get out my face and go do something constructive with yourself. Go get your life together.”

I think he handles stress in a better way besides bottling it up, like going ham at the gym. On the rare days when he and Everett can get together, they like to go crazy at the gym and then get some food (hopefully with jb if she’s in the area too💔)

I think Nate is trying new things with his hair, as he’s had locs forever. I think he’s going through different styles and figuring out what he likes and what he doesn’t. I think also when he picks a style, he does some digging and finds the history behind it. I think I’m high school, he didn’t give a shit, but as an adult I think he found an appreciation for his roots and African American history.

Obviously Nate doesn’t care about his parents, but I feel like when highschool was over and he had to go home, I feel like his paternal grandmother stayed over and looked after him and he developed a relationship with her. I think for a while he was just calling her Mrs whatever-his-fathers-last-name-is (I headcannon when his parents got married, they took his mothers last name) and it took him a long while (like years cus it’s Nate) to get comfortable enough to call her grandma. Now he just calls her Nana.

I also think that even though he doesn’t really rock with his family, he got close to maybe one or two cousins? Not close like they’re besties and everything is fine, but close like he considers them and he speaks to them from time to time over the phone. One of them are pretty optimistic and relaxed but also very successful for his age which Nate respects and the other I feel like is a professional boxer? Maybe him and Nate spar if Nate still keeps up with his mixed martial arts well into adulthood.

I feel like Nate and Jb see eachother the most, and after a while and Jb and Nate both got settled into their careers, I feel like Jb moved across the country to live with him. I don’t actually think they live in nyc, cus Nate doesn’t want to be super close to his parents and the city, but he still has to get to his law firm. I think they live just outside of the state in some smaller city or maybe somewhere that’s a mix of urban and suburban.

I think I’m their home there’s 3 room, one for Nate, jb and eve. I think it’s like this because each one of them are stubborn and picky, especially Nate. And eve is always pms-ing so he may not want to be near them 24/7 or sleep in the same bed. He’s normally not even home because he job calls for him to be away often, so I think Nate uses his room as a home office.

Anyway, that’s all I got rn I wanna share my thoughts on all of them together, like how they’re relation works and I also want to share my thoughts on my oc and Pran, I think they’re cute. But that’s for later it’s like 4 am I’m tired asf😪

it’s meeeeeeeee i’m shiloh enjoyer #3!!!! revolving him around in my brain every day like it’s a microwave 😭😭 i know you’re busy with a lot of other asks at the moment but i’m eagerly awaiting the lizzie post!! and all of your other writing ofc <33 you brighten my day :D

HELLO TO THE MYSTERIOUS SHILOH ENJOYER #3! I think we're all here now haha I'm glad you enjoy my analysis posts! NOW BUCKLE UP, BUCKAROOS! THIS ONE IS GOING TO BE LOWKEY SAD: Elizabeth is perhaps the most complex and defining relationship in Shiloh's life.

First of all, it's one of the few we see glimpses of throughout several steps in his life-- we see how he idolises her as a child, how he acts towards her when they reconnect in his teenage years and glimpses of how the different versions of him act with her in adulthood. It's likely the oldest relationship he maintains that isn't familial, and I think that's incredibly significant when we take into consideration what I believe to be one of the paradoxical cores of Shiloh's character: Connections and relationships are disposable to him, but Shiloh is only Shiloh as long as there’s someone there. He still feels lonely.

I talked a little before about Shiloh's childhood. How the social dynamics he established as a kid ended up influencing his behaviour as a teenager: He sees Lizzie as the obvious leader, since she's older and more assertive than him and MC, and follows her around and obeys her every whim because of it. Whether he genuinely likes her or not is up for debate, but I don’t think it matters to Shiloh. What she means to him is something that can far supersede any simple likes or dislikes that he might feel at that age:

She provides stability and purpose. She’s his anchor against the mean kids, the teasing, the isolation. All he has to do is stay in her favour. Lizzie is his first encounter with a power dynamic he can rely on and emulate as he grows, and therefore she becomes someone he idolises.

Shiloh doesn’t need to be honest, or even be himself, as long as he’s useful and needed. He understands social hierarchies all too well, knowing what happens to people at the bottom. It’s why he insists he isn’t “different” and loses it when Cove calls him “weird.”

He was probably one of the kids who got picked on, so he’s always scrambling to stay just above water and not sink to the bottom with the rest of the “outcasts.” MC doesn’t mean much to him, but in Lizzie’s absence, he sticks to them just as obediently, as they’re the next best thing. Cove, on the other hand, is mostly just a mild annoyance but does give Shiloh a bit of relief because, for once, he’s not the one at the bottom. And it’s not like Cove was ever going to be Lizzie’s favourite anyway.

Whenever Shiloh gets ignored, he panics and tries to wedge himself back into the conversation however he can. And as soon as Lizzie shows up again, he immediately runs back to the safety of their old dynamic.

I think that while most of him admires her at that age, there's a little part of him that resents not being like her. Not being able to be a leader and being relegated to a follower, feeling aimless when she isn't around. As a kid, he's more prone to lashing out when angered, unlike older Shiloh who acts with fake cheeriness and this strange, eery coldness when annoyed. And that's why he pulls her down with him into the water in Step 1.

If he isn't willing to voice these things because he doesn't want to rock the boat and cause issues, he expresses it more subtly.

Shiloh’s just scared—a scared little kid who figured out a way to fit in. And because that method kept working for him, through moving out of state and getting through life without Lizzie, he never really had a reason to change, even if it did a number on his very sense of self.

He got better at these tactics over time, making sure he’d always have a way to fit in, but it cost him a real personality and genuine social skills beyond the manipulation tactics he fine-tuned throughout the years. Eventually, he started taking control in small but crucial ways: He’s the one who walks away from relationships, now. Removing himself from them becomes a choice. It’s not only about leaving when people cease being useful to him but about imposing a sense of control that he felt like he lacked in childhood since he moved schools and states a few times and was likely used to being the “new kid” in different places.

He learned to hide his feelings better, so he wouldn’t blow up the way he did when he was seven. That’s why his relationship with Elizabeth—and the times he had to start fresh somewhere new—were so essential to shaping who he is: Lizzie set the standard for the kinds of relationships he’d chase, and moving around gave him fresh slates and new people to practice on.

That brings us to the serendipity moment in Our life and what we know from him in Xoxo droplets. Now, I know a lot of people haven’t actually played XOD and only have a cursory knowledge of it and the fact that a few characters from it cameo in the Our Life series! But did you know that Liz is mentioned by name in Shiloh’s route?!?

Yes! Back in 2017 we actually had Shiloh mention the events of Serendipity, which I think is a crucial scene to understand Shiloh’s character.

But before we talk about that, Let's talk Serendipity!

After Jeremy brings up “Shiloh’s famous memory” and Liz realizes he lied about not remembering her in the Step 3 prologue, Shiloh actually goes ahead and explains why he is the way he is. His explanation lines up with what we know about him from XOXO Droplets and how he acts in Step 1.

I don’t think he’s lying. Not about all of it, at least. Some of the only concrete information we have on Shiloh’s character and how he functions comes from his childhood, and I think that what he’s saying is a natural progression of that information. He only does things for his own benefit, he’s afraid of being left out and he asserts his sense of control through his relationships with others. But it’s really important to remember that Shiloh doesn’t do things without it benefiting him. While I believe in the core of what he’s saying, the fact that he’s divulging this information at all (how he’s going about it, by putting Liz and her feelings on the matter first, and framing his choices as being mistakes he made out of care for an old friend and by reiterating that they’re too good and putting himself down for pity points) instead of trying to dodge the conversation again, he’s employing a few of his known manipulation tactics: the real me strategy.

Shiloh knows that this new information is hurtful to Liz, and like in Step 1, her opinion is really the one that matters to him. He knows that there’s a limit to how much he can play dumb before they snap, and by Jeremy revealing part of his MO, there isn’t a lot he can do to smooth things over, so the least destructive path is to do exactly what Shiloh does to JB during his route in Xoxo droplets: He feeds Liz little bits of truth because he knows he’ll damage their relationship if he doesn’t. He gives her enough so she feels like she knows him better, like she’s got some new, special insight into the “real” Shiloh that nobody else has, which keeps her around. He pretends to drop his manipulative schtick because by telling her this, she has “figured him out” and there isn’t a point in trying anymore. That itself is a manipulation tactic.

But why bother? He’d be gone again by the end of the afternoon regardless of her forgiveness or not.

It comes back to what I mentioned earlier: Shiloh is the one who exerts control over his relationships. He is the one who decides when they start, and when they end, and by Liz being upset and deciding she doesn’t want to be around him, not only does he lose the control he craves, but Shiloh loses it with the person he based all of his subsequent relationships on.

In the few hours that he spent in Sunset Bird, they all fell back into their old dynamics even though it had been so long since Shiloh stepped foot in that town. He still remembers that she prefers popsicles over ice-cream sandwiches, and even though he’s better at including MC and Cove, Shiloh in a lot of ways fell back into their old routine, looking back to Liz as his leader and following into step as her sidekick. It doesn’t matter if Liz isn’t an active part of his life any longer, what would it mean to him to have those memories tainted? For that perfect template to be ruined?

But Liz stays. 

And because of that choice, we get to see the ultimate consequences of it. Shiloh isn’t a good person. As pitiful and as tragic as he might be, he simply isn’t one. And I think that can be encapsulated perfectly in how he frames his interaction with Liz to his girlfriend in Xoxo Droplets.

He glosses over what he did wrong, he casually exploits that event to garner points with his girlfriend. He ultimately doesn’t care if she takes his and Liz’s relationship the wrong way and frames it as being romantic, even if that’s far from the truth. Even with Elizabeth being miles away and already hurt by him, he still finds ways to use people and spin narratives to his advantage. 

I do believe he holds Liz in higher esteem than most (and arguments can be made that JB, the main character in XOXO droplets and his love interest, and Elizabeth share similarities in both appearance and their strong-willed, confident personalities), since she was his “idol” by his own admittance, but this is a tiny way in which he asserts his control over the situation. It doesn’t matter if Liz believes she holds the reins. If she’s older, admirable and if he still follows her around like an obedient puppy when she’s around.

By choosing to stay, she tipped the scales in his favour. He is the one in control once again, and he's able to continue his interminable cycle of holding people at arm's length while playing the part of a devoted companion.

[xoxo-jb-brainrot]

Idk I just..

Why pran wearing the goofy outfit!!!!!!!

(Might draw them in the goofy movie fits because I’m actually unhinged.)

[buried-in-autumn-leaves]

My contributions to the xod fake twitter pool btw part one of three (?) 🔥🔥💯💯💯🦅🦅🦅🦅

[princesdecentdoodles]

magnet :3

[natelawtism]

This is me in the xod fandom. JB x the jerks? No, JB has a girlfriend. Jeremy has Koi, duh. Lynn and Mio are married. I literally just saw Cass and Bae at prom together? I saw Chiara and Pran too. Wdym ocxcc... literally all of them are canon

[cass-artz]

I know I just posted the alien stage profiles about 2 hours ago, but I just had the need to rant about my reasonings on why certain xod characters are certain alnst characters!!

I'll probably rant about everyone's dynamics with each other if anyone wants that/if I really want to yap

Ranting under the cut

Everett as Sua and Nate as Mizi

I remembered that one moment in XOD where Nate said he'd sacrifice himself for Everett because he didn't want survivors guilt

I thought of that and went "It'd be angstier if Nate lived and he just had to suffer"

I just thought it's peak angst lol

(this is actually what made me start the au in the first place)

Shiloh as Luka

They're both manipulative

Yeah, that's practically it.. But it fits really well!!

Jeremy as Till

There was actually no particular reasoning for this other than having my favorite XOD character be my favorite ALNST character

There was also the appeal of drawing aggressive Jeremy from time to time + seeing him suffer too

Pran as Ivan

Pran was supposed to be Hyuna at first since I sort of thought it fit, but then I decided against that and make him Ivan

This was also sort of a "Oh Pran is my 2nd favorite and Ivan is my 2nd favorite, that'd be so cool"

I also wanted JerePran angst lol

JB as Hyuna

We love strong queens

Bae as Acorn

Sorry Bae enjoyers, but he's acorn cuz hes a weakling and will die very easily

Which is why I made him an NPC

Making the dynamic between Bae and Jeremy in round 2 was also a fun thought

Lucas as Marty

Lucas was a very last minute edition for the au since I sort of forgot Marty existed😭I also felt like the dynamic with Lucas and Pran in their round would be interesting

BASICALLY I think most of my reasonings were "I like the thought of the dynamic" or "It seems fun/angsty"

[regulusstarz]

Jeremy x Pran headcanons!

first time posting.. im totally cool haha..

This is my first time ive really written in this format, so sorry if it kinda sucks. I tried to keep it as close to canon as possible, but there's only so much you can do with those two stubborn silly billies..

» The confession took fucking LONG. Eventually JB just couldn't stand to witness that anymore and decided to play matchmaker.

» Jeremy would've probably confessed after JB pushed him to it. Pran would've been too stubborn and internally scared of messing up the friendship to do it. (JB used the fact that Jeremy could just tell Pran she forced him if he didn't reciprocate as a way to get him to finally do it).

» JB was not allowed to be there after the confession. Pran needed some alone time after it, but did accept Jeremy's confession eventually.

onto when they're actually dating!!

» Dates would probably be just hanging out like they always did. Pran sketching something while Jeremy does his own thing. Maybe they occasionally comment on something, but it's mostly just quietly enjoying each other's presence.

» Because of Jeremy's germaphobia, they don't actually really touch much. Pran is already a well-known person to him, so he can do little touches like laying against one another or holding hands for a couple minutes, but can't bring himself to go further than that.

» He knows Pran is secretly touch starved and wishes he could hug him, but his Germaphobia just makes him unable to do that. Just thinking about it makes him shudder.

» But Pran doesn't really have a problem with it. He knows how Jeremy is, and respects it. He would probably only do whatever Jeremy asked. The most he'll try to do is maybe simple hand touching (like fingers grazing one another), but even that would be extremely rare. He would feel way too guilty about making Jeremy uncomfortable to actually try and initiate anything.

» Jeremy didn't tell his parents and Pran didn't either. Jeremy because he didn't want to deal with his parents possibly making an even bigger fuss about his (boy)friend, and Pran because he thinks his family is not worth introducing Jeremy to. Jeremy already knows how shitty his parents are, no need to get them involved.

» But when Graduation comes near, they'd probably skip out on prom and go somewhere else togheter instead. Jeremy's parents would most likely want him to spend that day with them, but Jeremy either admits to Pran being his boyfriend in that moment and says they want some time alone (similarly to when you go to prom with Jeremy in XOD), or says that he and Pran had already made plans.

Sorry if they were short!! I tried my best. I'll probably get better with time ^^', i hope you enjoyed it though!!
